For last 20 years, Navmaharashtra Yuva Abhiyan, a department of Yashwantrao Chavan Pratishthan, Mumbai is working with youth of Maharashtra. It lead to development of various program and gave committed workers for the society. However, it was felt that this work is not enough and there is a need for state to decide its policy for the largest group of population, youth, for their development and rights. The Abhiyan took lead in this direction and triggered discussion for Maharashtra State Youth Policy. Dialogue is started in this direction with institutions, organisation and experts working with youth.
In Maharashtra, youth in the age group 13
to 35 years constitutes nearly 42% of the population. Various
developmental programs are organized for this large population group by
government, semi-government, non-government organizations and
educational institution. Youth are taking lead to form Youth Groups and
youth organizations and thereby exploring new avenues for their
development. A need is strongly felt for coordination of these varied
programs. In this situation, a holistic and all-inclusive youth policy
can be assurance by the Government and society to youth for
their development.
